Patti Kauf-Melehes, director of the foundation, said this year's Stars at Night won’t feature a fashion show, but the theme — "Steamboat Classy" — will be similar. Past, present and future Olympians will join the celebration for a night of entertainment, drinks, dinner, dancing and a live auction.

“Through these events, you can donate to the club,” Kauf-Melehes said. “All proceeds from the auction go to the general fund.”

The foundation serves as the Winter Sports Club’s endowment fund. It currently has about $2.3 million and contributes 5 percent of its earnings annually to the club's operation. Last year, it donated $127,000 to the Winter Sports Club.

The goal of the foundation, Kauf-Melehes said, is for the endowment to reach $10 million, which she said would secure the future of the Winter Sports Club.
